MedAssets inks deal to market PatientSecure

MedAssets will jointly market HT Systems’ PatientSecure biometric patient identifier within MedAssets point-of-care patient identity system.

PatientSecure allows providers to capture a patient’s biometric identity by scanning the vein pattern in the palm of his or her hand during the registration process, which then helps to identify the patient at the point of care.

In addition, PatientSecure can retrieve medical records and protect privacy during the registration process and check-in during hospital visits.

MedAssets provides revenue cycle management, regulatory compliance and operational optimization services to health systems, hospitals and non-acute healthcare providers, the company said.
